truck pulled out in front of you? Is it just me, or do they always seem to be pulling out of parking lots or roads in front of people? I here that its because its the only way they can get out because of traffic, so now i make a point to let a semi out when i can.

As a Semi driver for many years I have seen alot of S**T
Be aware that there are alot of good and respectable drivers on the road today
And yes there are a few that don't give a rats azz
The Semi driver is only allowed 10 hours per day to drive..
If they sit and wait for some of the traffic that they get into it cuts their hours and pay.
So sure they are going to pull in front of some cars and sure they are going to speed
BUT WAIT
If you look around you and view some of the actions of a car
pulling in front of a truck,,that cannot stop on a dime.hmm
A car cutting off a truck
or many other dumb driving techniques,damn them poor truckers today,,all that stress
You must realize that the food on your table and lumber that built your house was delivered by a truck
Can you imagine getting to the grocery store and all thats there is rotted food
So be kind to truckers even though there are a few idiots
They are on a time clock to get the produce and wood products delivered
And by all means Give Them a Break
So Sorry for all those who lost your loved ones.
Please don't always blame the truck
There are alot of accidents today that claim lives and never even involve a motor vehicle

I actually pushed a car off the road as I transitioned lanes from Left to Right ( on my 'blind side') I missed a car in my mirrors. Fortunetly, I was only doing 30-35 mph and caused scratches as the car realized I didn't see them. As a person, I almost cried because it was kids and mom. One driver mentions there's lots of bad semi and good semi-drivers. The ones who chase cars or push the car infront, the best advice is to BACK OUT of it. He/She is an asshole and will kill some one. You can't imagine the stress of dealing with cars on the same road. 100 percent of my day was watching cars to avoid hitting them (after my accident it felt like a 1000. percent). If you do let a semi- out he/she does appreciate it!

I was sitting in a left turn/ yield lane and felt something pushing on me and my bike. (Ninja 250) It was a semi that was unaware that I was in front of it. I dropped the bike and rolled out of the way. The truck ran over the bike with its third axle. Totalled it.

Acctually my friend got hit by a semi because he was crossing a street and a semi was speeding. he died.. Anyways, i was going to north carolina and we almost got hit because trucks were speeding and crossing in front of us at night time. Who ever drives like that should be fired!

Yes, it takes them a while to get going so I let them out when I can. They don't mean to be rude when they pull out in front of you--at least the majority of them. Imagine trying to handle a big rig like that!

It's very hard to turn those big trucks, sometimes they just have to 'take charge' of the road, or they'll never be able to move through a town.

Look at this. It's a pickup trunk running from the cops. He has a minor collision with a semi.

Semis are pretty big and slow moving. You should be able to aviod hitting them.
